Results: Means of stress and self-care performance were 1.76, 3.21. Percentage of correct answer of knowledge about Tuberculosis was 71.8. Knowledge about tuberculosis was significantly different according to age(F=21.81, p<.001), marital status(F=13.79, p<.001), education(F=36.63, p<.001) and monthly income(F=16.23, p<.001). Stress was significantly different according to gender(t=3.58, p<.001). Self-care performance was significantly different according to age(F=5.74, p=.004), marital status(F=8.79, p<.001), education(F=9.15, p<.001), monthly income(F=7.87, p=.001) and attendance of tuberculosis education(t=2.34, p=.020). Self-care performance had significant correlation with knowledge about tuberculosis and stress.
